Translation:
Career is flat-lining. Must administer CCPR (Celeb Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). Say "controversial" things. Whine, but claim you're not.
In spite of my rage, I’m still just Nicolas Cage...
Nick Cage is a funny guy. I mean “funny” as in odd. He’s done some real funny in movies but he’s become, over the years, more odd than anything else.
Great actor, just an idiot when it comes to politics.
Won’t help Mr. Coppola get any new roles. Ghost Rider it is. He’d better hope for an Avengers Alliance movie . . .
I’d describe him as a good actor. Nicholas Cage can’t hold a candle to the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hardy, or Mel Gibson.
On the other hand, I’d describe him as a great politic-er.
At least he gives me two chances to watch Diane Kruger on cable every once in awhile. For that - I am grateful.
Tuesday nights in March find TCM highlighting old clips of interviews by Johnny Carson over the years - tonight included some comments by Truman Capote in 1972, in which he offered the opinion that most actors are “dumb”, and usually the better the actor, the dumber - “Marlon Brando is a good actor, but he’s so dumb he makes your skin crawl’, said Capote a minute before he came to the same conclusion about Jane Fonda and her political comments. Cage seems another case in point.....
LOL! Go for it.
Too many people are famous for being famous, not talented. That’s exactly what I’ve always thought of Cage.
SXSW has allowed Hollywood to take over. It’s now nothing but a big studio production. What started out as a venue for “unknowns” trying to break into the biz, has become the barrier they’ve always tried to get over.
Of all his films, I can watch “Knowing” again. No other is worth the bother.
Snap out of it!
He’s already got his.
One of the funniest films he’s starred in - Leaving Las Vegas.
I’ve seen a number of his films, and he is talented, but he often plays the same character....in different movies.
Of all his films, I can watch “Knowing” again. No other is worth the bother.
Wait, “Peggy Sue got Married” too.
((((slap!)))
Whyyy I outta.
Nobody can do an empty headed look of confusion with a blank stare at the same time the way Nick does.
Capote was a smart guy, despite his “proclivities”. Never attended school.
